1 COST ($ in Thousands) Actual FY 2004 FY 2005 FY 2006 FY 2007 Cost to Total Cost 2738 Weather Service 19,057 11,202 14,488 16,617 16,824 17,131 17,458 Continuing TBD Quantity of RDT&E Articles A. Mission Description This budget activity funds operational development necessary to acquire, modify, and sustain segments of the Air Force Weather Weapon System (AFWWS). The AFWWS supports worldwide operations of Air Force and Army warfighters, as well as Special Operation Forces (SOF) and other government agencies, by providing observations and forecasts of terrestrial and space weather. The AFWWS provides fixed and transportable equipment supporting the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) concept with weather observing and forecasting capabilities at in-garrison and deployed locations. Efforts include: (a) Cloud Depiction and Forecast System II (CDFS II) upgrades satellite data processing, cloud depiction and forecasting weather support functions for operational commanders and classified national programs and replaces logistically unsupportable mainframe computers at the Air Force Weather (AFW) Strategic Center, Offutt AFB; (b) Global Theater Weather Analysis and Prediction System (GTWAPS) acquires theater weather models and associated hardware to improve AFW theater support capabilities; (c) Tactical Weather Radar (TWR) provides fixed and semi-fixed Doppler weather radar to support forward deployed combat operations worldwide; (d) Space Weather Analysis and Forecast System (SWAFS) builds space environmental support and modernizes software capabilities to meet warfighter requirements; (e) Product Tailoring/Warfighter Applications (PT/WA) provides user workstations capable of ingesting multiple sources of weather information to provide timely and precisely tailored weather products for the warfighter and supports the 'train as you fight' concept by assuring fixed and deployable systems have a similar look and feel; (f) Weather Data Analysis (WDA) provides a fused infrastructure for the assimilation of advanced models, radar, lightning, and satellite data into a single user interface for the timely analysis and production of tailored weather products; (g) Observing System 21st Century (OS-21) provides a range of weather observing capabilities, including automated capabilities, at fixed and deployed locations worldwide; (h) Small Tactical Terminal (STT) provides worldwide tactical users with a survivable 'first-in' source of meteorological satellite data, processed by small portable terminals in forward areas of conflict [STT funding aligned to PE 35111F in FY01. Prior year funding in PE 35160F, Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.]; and (i) Forecasting integrates advanced scientific numerical weather prediction capabilities into the AFW Strategic Center for automated and mission-tailored weather forecast products. Air Force Weather (AFW) programs are aligned under the five core competency areas of Weather Data Collection, Weather Data Analysis, Forecasting, Product Tailoring/Warfighter Applications, and Dissemination described in the AFW Mission Support Plan. Through this alignment, AFW ensures an integrated and systems-oriented approach to program management decisions. Weather Data Collection includes terrestrial and space environmental sensors including TWR, OS-21, Project 2738 Page 1 of 6 Pages Exhibit R-2 (PE F) 1587

2 A. Mission Description Continued and STT. Weather Data Analysis provides interoperability of AFW processing infrastructure with users and data sources. Weather Forecasting will enhance cloud forecasting capabilities and weather forecasting models and begin merging strategic and operational forecasting for greater efficiency. Product Tailoring/Warfighter Applications implements AFW Reengineering at the theater and tactical levels; at theater level provides timely, fine-scale weather products and services to operational commanders within a given Area of Responsibility; and at tactical level provides front-line weather information to warfighters in support of combat operations. These consolidations and realignments implement the CSAF-directed and approved AFW Strategic Plan.

Acquisition Strategy All major contracts within this program used precompeted DoD contract vehicles or were awarded after full and open competition. Programs support DII COE compliance and use an evolutionary acquisition strategy with a series of incremental IOCs and software releases. This approach accommodates refinement and prioritization of user requirements and improves adaptability to evolving commercial activities. F.
